There were a few different variants of this sticker, I am guessing different batches and or suppliers in different time frames. Old car images are too blurred to tell which version they might have been.

I picked up my first original Cobra emblem circa 1971. Once I got a second kind I thought it would be a great collectable. I have been watchful for decades trying to get one of everything a new Cobra had when its first owner bought it. I am close to getting one of everything I have documented so far. I have one of all the front and rear emblems now I think.
When CSX2001 was taken home by its original owner he took pictures and movies of the brand new car. Remember not all Cobras went to California for final assembly. It had three different emblems front and rear, a solid AC, two S1CS-A emblems one each front and rear, and a script AC.
This solid AC emblem was removed from very early CSX20XX Cobra that didn't go to California. It was updated to a S1CS-C emblem later at its owner's request.
This script AC came out of Europe. I bought it from a man that said it came from a European Cobra when it got updated to the S1CS-C emblem.
This S1CS-A emblem was removed from a Cobra that was converted to racing early in its days.
NOS S1CS-B (production version)
New car take off 1965 S1CS-C emblem.
NOS C3RA Ford version circa 1966 model year for 427 Cobras

So what are the dimensions for the first emblem? Was it big or small, any sizes?
Emblem S1CS-A or the first (54?) cars.
Cheers

Hmm, If I remember my friends 260 (#53) AC had no badges. Except the side badges "powered by ford". I'm not suprised, that there were serval different adaptations in the beginning.  |

My choice was made after looking at as many pictures of orginal AC Cobras as needed to get that look.Only ones I compromised on were front fender badges instead of 427 mine have 460.

If anyone wants the AC badges I had them made a few years ago, I have four left and I would sell them for $60 each unfinished. In order to finish you need to use touch up paint and the clear coat. Some sanding will also be required. I have showed what they looked like once done. The ones I have are rough aluminum.

Thanks,
Allan
I have the units on CNC with the supplier so if there was a number of guys who wanted them they still could be made.
